“Was it really this possible to enjoy a tournament this much?” Call me any time. If it’s a place with fans like these, then I will always go."

Boxer, then why did you withdraw from NASL citing "no reason given"
Playoffs? You're talking about playoffs?

Maybe NASL isn't MLG and MLG isn't NASL.

He needs no reason. Boxer does whatever he wants.

lol go watch the NASL offline event. make sure you pay attention to the fans. notice how fucking stupidly quiet they are almost the entire event. he isn't talking to everyone in NA, he's doing an MLG interview. MLG fans go batshit crazy over practically nothing all the time, and it's awesome. that's why he asks if it was really possible to enjoy the tournament as much as the fans seemed to. it's something that i really haven't seen from any LAN event in any country, even other ones in the US. it takes rabid fan girls from BW to really hold a candle.

MMA announces name change to MLG.

:p Quaint interview. Boxer did look like he was having a blast.

MMA: I think it’ll be difficult to describe that emotion with words. It was really important, both for me and BoxeR-hyung. I didn’t feel good even though I had won. But after the game had ended, I had tears in my eyes as BoxeR-hyung put the emotions of the loss aside and took me backstage and started telling about my opponent MVP’s style and the strategies MVP had used against him. I wouldn’t have been able to do that if I was in his place. So I went into the final match even more determined and resolved than normal.


Too awesome.

I'm specifically talking about the matches line. They always say close to the same thing. That's why I asked if it was something lost in translation or if they are all saying close to the exact same thing.

"I hope to bring exciting matches" "I hope I can play an entertaing game for my fans" It just seems like they are reading off a script when talking about their games.

Wasn't trying to stereotype, but I honestly feel/hope that it's lost in translation and that is the best way for the translators to put it in English for us.



Actually, having spent a lot of time with all of the Korean Pro's--they genuinely mean that. They really want to provide great and entertaining matches for the fans to watch and cheer for. It's perhaps hard to appreciate their perspective, but if you've heard the chanting of Boxer or MMA or MVP or Huk or White-ra at the MLG mainstage... imagine what a rush, and how good it must feel to have that directed at you.

It's not just manner, or "scripted." That's really how Boxer, MMA, MVP, DRG, Ganzi, Alicia, MC, and every other Korean player that I've met feels. But it's not just Korean pro's. It's really all pro's. Look at Huk's recent tweets, he's apologizing to his fans. Idra does the same thing from time to time. And I've seen White-ra do it too.

This is one of many things that makes the SC pro's stand out. I, for one, love it and appreciate it.

To our heroes, it's not just about winning. It's about entertaining us. Starcraft is such an amazing game for this--there's so much complexity to it, that's so easy to understand.


This girl is right. The korean pros tend to really feel the drive to not just win, but play fun and entertaining games for the audience. It really is for the fans.

it takes rabid fan girls from BW to really hold a candle.


Or, just the rabid fan girls
(start from 3:05).

To weigh on the "players just want to play entertaining games", this is 100% how I felt at a LAN and when my games were being shown on a screen. During moments of inactivity/macro time, you can't help but think "God, people are bored out of their minds right now..."

It's more of a Korean thing. People see a guy like FBH and think he's the most BM Korean in BW, when in reality he's one of the nicest guys you can actually meet. All stereotypes aside. It really comes down to honor and their lifestyle.

As for the entertaining part. At the end of the day, winning comes first and yes they hope their fans get entertained in the process, but it really comes down to results. As generic as it might sound, they hope in the end the audience is entertained.

What BoxeR said in the booth to MMA had several layers, but I'll use one word to describe it: encouragement.
